Digital receiver in addition to built-in TV tuners have a raison d ‘ etre. Since the abolition of the analog TV signal in this year and the spread of HDTV devices the importance of the digital receiver is increased dramatically. Many modern TV devices incorporate the common TV tuner (DVB S/C/T), but in most cases these are not the highest quality components. Especially with cheaper TVs, we d on the quality of the tuner saved significantly. Raison d ‘ etre of digital receivers digital TV signal has a decisive advantage compared to the analog signal. There is no noise. Because the signals are transmitted, and thus consist of ones and zeros, the signals either arrive or not. Where is the advantage you might think? It’s simple.

You have a picture or the screen remains black. There is no longer an in-between. Gone are the days where you have to look for example football with many errors (Schlieren image errors, etc.). Error when the digital signal while also still exist, only these occur not so much on and through higher quality components can be still lower to a considerable degree. For this reason, external digital receivers still have their raison d ‘ etre. External digital receiver have used higher-quality electronics, so also weaken signals, or at a minimum signal level a liquid TV screen appears on the TV. Another advantage is that you can connect external hard drives to receivers to easily record the favorite program.

Operation and more comfort with TV, better devices, with many pre-configured tuners, the operation is must be often complicated and cluttered, because too many functions in a confined space combines. This is in digital receivers often, but not always, different. The operation is sophisticated and less cluttered. Depending on the manufacturer, there are various techniques that greatly simplify the operation. Way, transmitter, for example, all TV be kept up-to-date. Should there even be a frequency change, the updating is done depending on the configuration, in the background. The user is not of them. Also the EPG (electronic program guide) differs depending on the manufacturer the extent. As can be seen on some devices the TV program of next week, be customized and recordings can be programmed at your fingertips. Prior to the purchase of one digital receiver note sale has many advantages, but you must observe a lot. Is important, which signal exactly, because only the few receivers can tune all signals, because among other things the connections, etc. do not fit. Want to get the benefit of HDTV, so an extra designated HD digital receiver must here. It is also important for reception of HDTV that only the public provide their HD channels free. In order to receive the private broadcaster, paid subscriptions. At the reception via satellite (DVB S), a HD + enough card at the reception via cable (DVB C) will be charged a fee. DVB T can be, depending on the State, many different stations received.

Outdoor lighting helps prevent accidents and protects against burglary and theft an optimum lighting protects from accidents and deters burglars. During the day, you can be back towards the House without problems. But at night is a dangerous pitfall of each stage. A wrong step can have painful consequences. And so, suddenly, the day ends on a Chair at the doctor’s Office or in the hospital instead of on the couch.

A well-planned outdoor lighting around the House helps to avoid accidents of this kind. Low bollard luminaires or Recessed floor luminaires are good, providing sufficient light paths and stairs, licht.de, the society declared good light. The outdoors requires a sufficient protection of at least IP 44 (protection against foreign objects greater than one millimetre and against splashing water). The lights make orientation easier for visitors and guide them to the entrance. Twilight switch are helpful to automatically activate the light at dusk.

One Timer prevents that the lighting remains through switched on all night. It is important to pay attention, so that the light is not the source of danger on a sufficient protection against glare. Motion detector kept intruders but light around the House not only against falls, but also against burglary and theft. Brightness deters intruders, especially when motion suddenly turn on the lighting. Headlight in unobtrusive places around the House should be installed to lighten the entire environment. You recommend LEDs as the light source as they emit their full light output without delay. Lighting at the entrance creates additional security: evening visitors find ring and name badge and can be identified with a view through the door window before opening the front door. The House residents in turn must keys not long after Keyhole and door openers. For example, wall lights or downlights are suitable for the lighting of the input. Canopies often provide good Mounting options. Illuminated or illuminated house numbers make it easier to find the correct address for visitors. In the event of an emergency, they save even decisive minutes, must come about emergency or urgently needed taxi to your destination in a timely manner. In many municipalities, in Berlin or Hamburg, a lighted house number is therefore mandatory. Even bright it should be at least four inches high, illuminated still 20 centimeters. Company description on licht.de licht.de – the Fordergemeinschaft good light – is since 1970 the competent partner when it comes to questions of lighting.

Tips and tricks: cell phone batteries longer live – what can you do for longer service life for the rechargeable batteries, battery is not equal to battery the least mobile users pay special attention to their batteries. While the performance of the small energy can be with little effort maintain and even increase. There are different types of batteries, to clarify misconceptions are tips for maintaining batteries can get long full power. Battery is not equal to battery. It makes more sense to deal with his cell phone battery a little achtsamer.

But caution: battery is not the same battery! The other not even can withstand what good does a which. First you should clear be so about how does a battery at all and what type you have to do it. Which battery types are there? Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries / nickel metal hydride (NiMH) this is the 1st generation of the accumulators. They were used in the first cell phones. For them, the positive consists of nickel compounds, negative from cadmium. NiCd batteries can be recharged 1000 times around 500.

Since these Batteries through the so-called memory effect quickly losing power, they were replaced by generation 2: the nickel metal hydride (NiMH). Here, also, nickel compounds provide a hydrogen-storing alloy for the negative charge to the positive charge. Until a few years ago, these batteries were standard for each phone model. The memory effect not so much occurs with them as with their predecessors. NiMH batteries require longer charging times, and can be between 400 and 700 times charged. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) / lithium-polymer batteries (Li-poly) as modern cell phones are getting smaller and smaller, had to pull the battery. The 3 Akkugeneration, which is still the largest market share and is found in a large part of the current phones are the lithium-ion (Li-ion)-batteries.

You can recharge anytime without memory effect. In lithium-ion batteries, the positive pole of lithium metal oxide and the minus pole consists of carbon. At the same weight as compared to NiCd batteries, lithium-ion batteries have three times more energy, they can be up to load up to 1000 times. The 4th generation and thus the newest batteries are now the lithium-polymer (Li-poly) batteries. In many newer phones standard, they have excellent standby and talk times. Your carrier is, in contrast to the lithium-ion batteries, plastic (polymer). You need no rigid metal box and save more energy than their predecessors. Charging time is approximately 2-3 hours. The first so-called initial charge should be applied 24 hours, then survive it recharges up to 1000. Memory effect: What is it?

With regard to the above mentioned memory effect, you will find two statements. Some claim that this phenomenon does not exist, warn other sources nor always being batteries between upload. This is because, that the memory effect not at all battery types to be found. To be exact, he applies only with batteries of the 1st and 2nd generation, the NiCd and NiMH batteries. This will effectively lose their charge ability you not fully discharge it. You download and remember “is their carrying capacity” only up to the point where they were, as one has reconnected it to the charger.

Verena system enables energy consumption display real-time Ebermannstadt, 01.12.2011. The EMS provider (electronic manufacturing services) four of a kind has the development of the smart metering system Verena (consumption energy Assistant) completed. The system, developed in cooperation with Arivus GmbH from Great Yarmouth in Furth and the Institute for power electronic systems at the ohm University Nuremberg shows the energy consumption of a household in real time. In this way, it allows a precise control of consumption. Households are with Verena able selectively to save energy and reduce costs. While the system uses standardised interfaces, making it with various electronic meters (smart meters) is compatible. The central innovation programme for SMEs (ZIM) of the Federal Ministry of Economics and technology has promoted the project since 2009.

Energy consumption shows Verena costs and CO2 emissions at a glance in addition to the absolute consumption levels. In addition, the system can consider the Injectability of its own photovoltaic or wind turbines. In addition, there is Verena able to evaluate electronic gas and water meters. All information converge at a so-called multi utility controller (MUC) and can from there via LAN or Wi-Fi to a display installed in the House. Which consumers are always able to evaluate the information at a glance”, says Erich Friedrich, head of project development at four of a kind. Alternatively can be computer, iPhone, or iPad use.

Sensitive data remain in this process in the House. Nobody can deduce the consumption data on the life habits of the inhabitants with help.” Professional hardware development at Vierling Verena is a joint project of Arivus, the University of Nuremberg and four of a kind. Four of a kind has together with partners developed the Verena total concept and developed the intuitive Verena touchscreen. This created Vierling layout and design of electronics, took over the selection and integration of the components and manufactured the prototypes. Arivus has developed the data acquisition controller the MUC. The University of Nuremberg created the software for the user interface. Communication level feature in the everyday coordination and reliability in the construction of the prototype”four of a kind, says Marcus Kraus, Managing Director of Arivus. In this way we have completed successfully the project.” Metering the requirement to save electricity with smart smart metering systems increases. The Energiewirtschaftsgesetzt requires the installation of electronic meters in January 2011. The Verena system is compatible with all electronic electricity, gas and water meters. “It is an optimum platform for comprehensive smart metering solutions”, says Erich Friedrich. In the long term, the trend is towards the automatic evaluation and control of consumption at the individual device level. Due to variable load and day time-dependent energy rates, households will able to orient their consumption directly in electricity prices. Cost the kilowatt-hour from seven o’clock 10 instead of 20 cents, washing machine and night storage heater will activate automatically.”

Assistance in the selection process, quality and volume generally valid procedure: the procedure determines the use. The labels over a long period must remain legible or there are high demands on the label material (like E.g. chemicals, raintight, or heat resistant)? At large demands on the sticker is a thermal transfer label printer the medium of preference. For the thermal transfer printing, called thermal transfer ribbons, commonly called films, used for the printing of labels. This thermal process the ink particles are transferred from the coated side of the Thermotransferfolie by using heat to the label material.

Wax or resin, or even a combination of these two factors, are the carrier of the color particles and are essential to the strength of the imprint. It is, however, uses, where the readability of the label on a short term is limited and there is alternatively no requirements for the durability of the pressure, is a direct thermal printer. The Thermodirektverfahren requires material that have a heat-resistant coating on the surface. Color particles that are released when the label material under the heated-up dots of through a print head is running can be found in this layer. For example, shipping labels are a typical use for the Thermodirektdruckverfahren. What resolution best fits the desired application print resolution? What resolution do I need the label printer? Simple logistics labels to be printed or it is interwoven nameplates with 2D codes and graphics? The more data and small graphics on the stickers are printed, the print resolution should be greater. Will pressure range as many labels be printed per calendar day? Label printers are usually divided into three types: desktop label printer for up to five hundred labels on the day, midrange label printer for labels up to 3,000 a day and industry or high end label printer for the continuous shift operation with over 5,000 labels a day. In addition to the amount of label, but also the application is crucial. Must be printed with a lot of 700 labels for example, only small address labels on the day, can although a desktop label printer in question of the lot. The format of the label plays a crucial role, industrial printers can labels up to a size of DIN A4 print, desktop label printers are significantly reduced in the mass and allow only a much smaller label width.

This year, more than 100,000 from over 140 countries and regions also wrote the HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics fair (AE) their success as the world’s largest industry event continues. Together with the parallel electronicAsia was one of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) over 100,000 visitors from over 140 countries and regions, an increase of six percent compared to the previous year. New materials, products and trends, among other well-known international brands such as Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG and Intel presented them over 4,000 exhibitors in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Hong Kong manufacturers were represented by companies such as Broadway, fortress and city Super. The HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics fair (AE) exhibitors from Denmark, Portugal and Sweden for the first time were among the 3,436 (2012: 3.322) exhibitors from 30 countries and regions. Special country pavilions showed news from China, Korea and Taiwan. The electronicsAsia recorded a total 598 (2012:578) exhibitors from 12 countries and regions with national pavilions from China, Japan, Korea and Thailand. Benjamin Chau, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, expressed confidence regarding the future Hong Kong electronics exports.

Currently, the electronics industry has accounted for 59 percent of the entire Hong Kong exports. In the first eight months of the year, the industry recorded an export by six percent ($172 billion). Main markets were China, followed by the United States, Japan, Taiwan and Korea. Special attention, so Chau, lie in the future on the Asian markets. In addition, a recovery of the market in the United States and European countries, like France and Spain, is increasing. Exhibitors on-site surveys reflected this assessment. Generally, a positive mood among manufacturers and buyers could be observed, as Benjamin Chau. Potential future new products such as 3D offer printer.

You would increasingly demand leading to long term falling prices and new audiences, including small and medium-sized Companies that do. More than 1,000 exhibitors and visitors were interviewed in the survey by the HKTDC in order given, independent exhibition. Over 90 percent indicated that 2014 to be reckoned with even better or similar sales figures. Particularly interest is the rising markets, especially Latin America, Russia and the countries of the ASEAN region. This time electronic accessories, audio visual products as well as Smartphones and tablets were particularly popular among the buyers with related accessories. The HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics fair (AE) once again offered a wide variety of topics and product zones, special exhibitions and events. Among the highlights that were newly introduced i-world (170 exhibitors) and smart home (35 exhibitors) product areas. The HKTDC did thus take account of two industry trends: the growing popularity of smartphones and tablets, and appropriate accessories, as well as the trend to the intelligent infrastructure within buildings. The Hall of Fame saw 485 exhibitors this year, including internationally known brands such as Goodway, Motorola, Philips, Princess, Skyworth and VTech. In the increasingly popular small-order zone were more than 4500 products for sale. Total generated these 19,000 purchase requests. In the invention zone exhibitors presented prototypes and new products, including the City University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the Hong Kong invention Association Ltd. and the Hong Kong Scvience and Technology Parks Corporation. The next edition of HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics fair will be held in the spring, from 13-16 April 2014. In parallel, the HKTDC international ICT Expo 2014 opens its doors.
